I'm in the process of documenting our DR procedure. Our testing includes
recovering from disk and tape. So far recovering from disk has been
relatively painless. In contrast, recovering from tape has proven to be
less successful. Right now I can't get past the steps to restore the
spfile to pfile from autobackup. Has anyone run across this same problem
when restoring the spfile to pfile from autobackup from tape? Listed
below is the backup and restore commands.
Backup:
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE sbt BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE sbt_tape TO
'cf_%F';
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 14 DAYS;
run {
allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms
'SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.so,ENV=(NB_ORA_SCHED=ORACLE
_DB,NB_ORA_CLIENT=jivrac1,NB_ORA_CLASS=OLS3_WIU_ORACLE)';
allocate channel t2 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms
'SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.so,ENV=(NB_ORA_SCHED=ORACLE

'SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.so,ENV=(NB_ORA_SCHED=ORACLE
_DB,NB_ORA_CLIENT=jivrac1,NB_ORA_CLASS=OLS3_WIU_ORACLE)';
backup database PLUS ARCHIVELOG;
release channel t1;
release channel t2;
release channel t3;
release channel t4;
}
Restore:
